Legal risk rarely appears on a seller’s balance sheet, but it shows up clearly in a buyer’s offer. This session gives advisors a practical framework for spotting the issues most likely to surface in due diligence, reduce a seller’s proceeds, or derail a deal before it closes. We will examine how sophisticated buyers think about legal risk, and what that means for how deals get structured and priced. Attendees will leave with concrete tools and practical information they can put to work in client conversations.

 Key Learnings

·      Understand how buyers evaluate and respond to legal risk and how that response affects deal structure and seller outcomes.

·    Identify the areas of legal exposure most likely to create problems for sellers in a transaction, and know what questions to ask clients to surface them early.

·   Apply a practical diagnostic framework to client engagements that supports earlier intervention and better-prepared sellers.

Our Speaker

Nicola Gelormino, Esq., Founder and Owner of LRA Group

Nicola Gelormino, Esq. is the Founder and Owner of LRA Group, where she advises mid-market privately held and family-owned businesses on legal risk identification and management and the resolution of commercial disputes. A third-generation entrepreneur who has built and operated multiple businesses, Nicola brings a rare combination of institutional legal rigor, operational credibility, and firsthand experience as a business owner. Her background was forged through a decade inside a national law firm and nearly 15 years advising owners on the legal exposures that affect day-to-day business performance, enterprise value, and transaction outcomes.

That combination shapes how she works with business owners and their advisors: not as outside counsel managing a matter, but as a strategic outside partner who understands what it takes to build and protect something and what it costs when legal risk stands between an owner and the exit they’ve earned.
